Why did he backstab Masuda?
>>58422563He doesn't want power, he just wants to stop making Pokemon for goddamn once
>>58422563Because Masuda is a pedo apologist.
>>58422563Masuda wasn't waifufag
>>58422573>Noooooo I don't want to do my fucking job!!!Why can't all game devs be like Sakurai, you would expect knowing you are supposed to make the game people want not what you want isn't that hard to understand
>>5842259490% of employees were fed up with Masuda's stale ass direction for Pokemon.
>>58422605Then they made shit after shit? Sounds like Sugimori and the rest just wanted to be lazy or shit out bad games out of spite
>>58422563JUDAS
>>58422605His stale ass direction is what we want. Don’t want to make Pokémon? Quit.
>>58422616The shit they made sold more than any Masuda game. You want to play the same shit 8 gyms and champion bullshit for 500 years? Pokemon has so much potential to drift off.
>>58422605Then they should've got their fucking shit together and successfully made Tajiri's Pokemon 2, the regional romp across all of PokeJapan with at least 18 fucking baby bastards.But no, it was pure dick shitting anarchy that no one was doing anything cohesively. If Masuda hadn't stepped back in for Pokemon, GameFreak would've been FUCKED.
>>58422653Yes. That’s literally all we want.
>>58422573>>58422605>the moment they ditch Masuda they started the retarded Gear Project shitWeird more people aren't mentioning this, and also they failed with all of their new games being flops because no one on the team is a Tajiri.
>>58422655>If Masuda hadn't stepped back in for Pokemon, GameFreak would've been FUCKED.And because of it Pokemon never fulfilled it's true potential, because a control freak maniac was in charge of the franchise. He even took over Tajiri's position 3/4th way through development of Gold and Silver to the point he was co credited as co director in Crystal.Masuda is a authoritarian freak, who was against innovation. We don't need route 2 to have the 26th pidgey and ratata variant.
>>58422653What the fuck are you talking about? Only alola ditched the gyms for totally not gyms bullshit.And all they did pales in comparison to the BF gameplay wise.Oh wow shitty open world so innovative and such good use of Pokémon's mechanics!
>>58422666Pokemon was NEVER going to fulfill its true potential anyway. Again, development of Pokemon 2 was utterly FUCKED, pure chaos with no order, no competency, no direction, nowhere near meeting Tajiri's personal deadline with how much work still needed to be done, which is why he had his meltie and completely quit on videogames forever.Pokemon 2 would've been permascrapped for how much of a pain in the ass it was for GameFreak's inept microdicks, and all of that money invested into "NEW POKEMON HYPE!!!" would've been an utter waste, the buildups from the anime and movies going completely unfulfilled.They hadn't learned SHIT from the arduous process of developing Red and Green for over half a decade, they went into 2 with the exact same mindset and paid the price for it.It's ONLY because Masuda came in and started helming the GS we know today that Pokemon is even still around, so for as mediocre as his formula was, and how much of a control freak he was, know that he had to take control because it was the ONLY WAY to get GameFreak to actually complete a game.
>>58422692Pokemon 2 was the peak though, hard times create strong men (Masuda)
>>58422666>He even took over Tajiri's position 3/4th way through development of Gold and SilverMasuda did it because Tajiri realized he couldn't do it anymore. Without Masuda, there would be no Gold and Silver, and Pokemon would've died right then and there.And for what it's worth, Masuda found the golden formula. People loved the formula, as repetitive as it is.
>>58422666I can tell you’re a zoomer leftist faggot.
>>58422661Was Gear Project that new game they’re putting out on Xbox?
>>58422735Gear project was a bunch of shitty games Gamefreak developed at the cost of Gen 6 and 7 being good
>>58422661I'm genuinely curious to see just how long GameFreak can run without Masuda breathing over its collective shoulders now that he's been shoved off to TPC, because from what we know of their ineptitude, 30+ years of being game devs is absolutely not enough time to learn how to get their shit together and function without a strict leader.Gen 10's gonna make or break the company, they won't have the Switch installbase to guarantee easy sales this time, and expectations are going to be very high for it to sell gangbusters due to being Pokemon's 30th anniversary game, and they don't have a scapegoat like GO to save them.>>58422735Gear Project refers to the team that handles all of GameFreak's Non-Pokemon projects, so yes, Beasts of Reincarnation is a part of it, alongside Little Town Hero, Giga Wrecker, Tembo the Badass Elephant, among others.
>>58422757The gen 1-4 Japan game is probably going to be the 30th anniversary cash cow
>>58422764They can barely make games with one region, there's no way they're going to pull that shit off. If that game isn't canceled it's going to empty and barren as fuck and run at 10 fps.
>>58422573>He doesn’t want power, he just wants to endlessly critique power
>>58422575This doesn't make any sense. Ohmori was hired in 2001. Japan had no laws about possessing 'p until 2014. The existing laws are very loose, and only complete idiots get caught doing it as well. Did this really happen or are you guys making shit up again?Also, this shouldn't surprise any of you. There was lolicon stuff in the teraleak going back to the 1980s.
>>58422780It's just one guy spamming his fanfic in every thread.
>>58422780That anon is just a schizo spamming his fanfic, ignore him
>>58422774I bet it's just going to look like BDSP
>>58422780>There was lolicon stuff in the teraleak going back to the 1980s.What? I don't remember this.I do know the fat guy dev made himself a pedo on Ruby and Sapphire.
>>58422757>Gear Project refers to the team that handles all of GameFreak's Non-Pokemon projects, so yes, Beasts of Reincarnation is a part of it, alongside Little Town Hero, Giga Wrecker, Tembo the Badass Elephant, among others.GF’s non-Pokemon catalogue really does make it clear how little talent is fostered in that company. Maybe this was due to the Masudist regime (I remember some negative glassdoor reviews as well that weren’t verified) but at the same time there are guys in the Japanese industry who became game designers by getting their foot in the door with 0 development background so some of it is definitely down to lack of vision vision. LTH is a creatively bankrupt game from top to bottom.
>>58422834>there are guys in the Japanese industry who became game designers by getting their foot in the door with 0 development backgroundMasuda is literally one of these guys. He learned programming to save Red/Green then took on a responsibility way above his pay grade by substituting for Tajiri as the director and becoming the director for the series from that point on, all that despite joining the company as a mere composer at first.Masuda may not be an Iwata or a Sakurai, but he's a game dev legend as far as gaming history is concerned.
>>58422863Yeah you’re right actually lel, I was thinking of guys like Toshihiro Kondo, Hidetaka Miyazaki or John Johanas that came from non-dev backgrounds and just got their foot in the door in the industry because they loved games so much - no skills when they started but tons of passion and vision. Masuda was at least a composer initially but everything he did after that was definitely due to his passion for Pokemon, the series owes its existence to Tajiri but its success and survival to Masuda. You would just think that other ‘big hitters’ would have stepped up at some point - Unno had BW2 but fucked up managing SM, Ohmori has some decent ideas but is now batting 0 for 3 with regards to actually executing them, Iwao’s useless. Surely there’s someone in this company that’s good for something, they just haven’t been given the chance to do it.
>>58422715Masuda's game killed Pokemania.Ohmori made Pokemon mainstream again.This is a fact
>>58422863>game dev legendHe made Diamond and PearlRemoved trading compatibility from gen 2 onwardsRemoved features from older gens that never carry overHired prostitutes en masse into his office.
>>58422969>b-but Masuda killed Pokemania!!!Pokemania would have died anyway because GameFreak was literally on the verge of having to cancel Gold because Tajiri up and quit and no one at GameFreak knew what the actual fuck they were doing.
>>58422988Don't blame GS into this. That shit still sold well. Pokemanis death is when the main title games only end up selling 15m copies across the next 5 gens. And that was all Masuda's fault for being such a sterile director.His magnum opus BW is still the least sold main title game.
>>58422969Masuda kept Pokemon alive long enough for GO and Switch to make it mainstream again and too big to fail now.This is a fact.
>>58423011You didn't even read what I actually said, you saw "Gold" and instantly assumed I was trying to shit on Johto for being Johto.No, what I'm saying is without Masuda, there wouldn't even BE a GS in the first place.Again, Tajiri GAVE UP and QUIT, and GameFreak was stuck in development hell because of how fucking unorganized they were, completely unable to do anything or get any jobs done.
>>58423036Masuda saved Pokemon, no one denies that. However Masuda also is at fault for making Pokemon stale for a long period of time, why can't you admit that?
>>58423025Go came out when Ohmori was already in charge of the franchise. Ohmori took over fully as director starting with ORAS. Pokemon rebirth is thanks to Ohmori. Oras is also the highest sold remake btw.
>>58423049Is it not better for Pokemon to have survived and gone stale to reach its glory days, than for it to have died right then and there as it was truly about to get going?
>>58423083Pokemon has so much potential and is now being fulfilled with Ohmori in charge. It's like China, Mao saved China from being a colonial shithole, but he didn't make China great that was his successors.
>>58422640>I want the same game over and over again
>>58423106Yes people like eating their favorite food again and again too
>>58423103Which is why it was a good thing Masuda did what he did to keep the franchise going even if it was "stale"The franchise can't be revitalized if it was fully dead before GO can happen
>>58423106Yes. That’s exactly what I want.
>>58422605And yet the games are more stale and lower quality without him cracking the whip. Curious! It seems to me like 90% of employees were fragile divas who had no idea what they actually wanted and should have been ignored.
>>58422985Based
>>58422605yes current direction is so much better ! ___no___
